@mishere23 "She said, 'I don't know if I've ever been good enough.'" At least that portion of the song isn't about him not feeling good enough. Possibly she not feeling good enough. OR it could be one huge analogy. Regardless, I agree with @Kusuification. The song can mean something different to everyone. For example, today I feel closer to understanding the song than I ever have before.
Well what Rob has done with many of his songs... Is left the meaning of it up to the listeners... So a good song weather it meant one thing to the writer.. Can mean many things to anyone and everyone therefore holding purpose to everybody. "A good song never goes outta style" -Rob Thomas
I think what this song means is that he doesn't actually want to hurt her. He just wants her to feel how he feels, which is pushed around. Maybe she pushes him around, but not physically. Maybe it's mentally. Listen to his first line "I don't know if I've ever been good enough." He probably thinks she's too good for him, and she knows it too. He just wants to have control of her as she does of him.
added this to my favorites... i think it is about the guy being very jaded about love... ( we have all been hurt ) he is testing the girl - pushing it to the limit in hopes that she might be the one to understand & see thru his pain so that he can learn to trust again... i do the same thing myself to an extent... the man who will love me for the rest of my life will either be a saint or a glutten for punishment...lol... just my perception of the song...lol... :)
@rosemendez17 i am afraid to ask if that is a good thing or not...lol... it is a dysfunctional mentality to have but i have never intentionally hurt someone... if anything , i do more damage to myself than anyone else... we all just have to learn to be strong & always give love a chance... :)
Dont read this cause it actually works.You will be kissed on the nearest possible Friday by the love of your life.tomarrow will be the best day of your life.However if u dont post this comment to at least 3 videos you will die within the next 2 days now u have already started reading so dont stop. This is so scary put this on at least 5 videos in the next 143 minutes when your done press f6 and your lovers name will appear on the screen in big letters this is scary cus it
i grew up with this music but never new who it was and i would always see it say matchbox 20 in the suggestions nd i'd be all like 'oh great a fuckin emo band' but its not!!!! (no offense to emo band lovers) nd so i found this song cuz justin bieber was singing 3 am and i'm SOOOOOOOO glad i gave the title a change cuz now i remeber the greatest days of my childhood. tht just proves tht you don't judge a book by its cover!!! :)
i LOVE this song <3 For some reason it makes me feel bad
but i still love it anyway lol this is the first time i've seen a video on youtube that has no dislikes :D it's good though what kind of person would dislike this video anyway? apparently no one so yay :D
@TheMcScrappy 189 likes now and 1 dislike.. Looks like we gotta hunt down that one person.. Well I feel sorry for whoever that 1 unlucky disliker is >.<

It's about what his mother did to him, until he finally decided living on a park bench was better. True story~

@relnelguinto In a nutshell, it's about always being pushed around other people and wishing for a change that it could be the other way around.

I used to think he was singing about wanting to control a girl. But now I think he's singing about a girl who was too controlling.
